Chapter 4: Afterwards
A day after the very unpleasant talk with my dad that I'd really rather not speak about, I got up and got ready to head for School.
As I was getting out of bed, I heard a bark, got down and patted my knee and shouted.
"Kurama! Come here boy!"
My dog, Kurama, came up to me and started licking me.
"Good boy" I told him while scratching his Head.
My dog Kurama was actually a fox, but I like to call him a dog since that's the role he serves and he's still a member of the family. He grabbed a blanket with his teeth and walked up to me, clearly wanting to play Tug of War,but I shook my head."Sorry boy, no can do, I have school today."
He whimpered in response to that and I swear whenever he did that, I just couldn't say no to him. So I let out a sigh of defeat."Alright, just one game though."
Kurama's attitude immediately turned up and he handed me the blanket before we started playing. After about three mins, I won the game, which I was obviously holding back, and petted him.
"Alright Boy, now I gotta go." Kurama nodded along and then laid down to nap. I left as soon as he was fully asleep.
(The High School)
After arriving to the Outside of the Academy, I immediately looked around for Ino and when I didn't see her, I let out a sigh of relief. The next moment though, I was caught in a very tight embrace from behind and couldn't break it.
"Good Morning Senpai" Ino whispered in my ear as she continued hugging me.
"I-Ino-Chan?" I stammered in fear.
"Yup" she replied as she tightened the embrace and snuggled into my Back.
I looked around and noticed that lots of people gathered around me and Ino, the guys were clearly jealous, and the girls looked to be confused. Yes, they all already knew about me and Ino's 'Relationship' but even so, it was still shocking for them to see it in person.
"Ino-Chan, everyone's staring" I whispered to her.
"So?" She replied. "They're just jealous that we found love."
'We?' I thought.
Shortly after this, the Bell sounded and we made our way inside the Building.
(Inside the High School)
Upon arriving inside the Academy, Ino waved goodbye to me and headed to her class. I let out a sigh of relief and headed to my own class.
As I made my way to my first period, a girl who was in the grade that I should've been in walked up to me and asked me
"So, you're really with her aren't you?"
"Oh, Ami, you saw that?" I asked her.
"Everyone did" she replied.
I rubbed my head due to feeling dense, then said
"Right."
"So… Why'd it happen?" She asked me.
"Huh?"
"I mean why'd she choose you?"
"I don't even know?"
Ami simply let out a sigh of frustration.
"It's such a shame, because I had my eye on you for a while, Naruto-Kun" with a wink at the end.
I shuddered after she said this and just prayed that Ino wasn't around.
So after looking at all my directions, I concluded that she wasn't around, and then proceeded in making my way to my first class.
(End of the Day)
"I'm home!" I shouted as I made my way back inside my house.
"Oh, Sochi" Kushina said before turning her head to face her Son.
I could see that she was cooking something but before I could ask her what, she had something to ask me.
"Sorry to bother you, but your dad left his lunch. Would you mind going to the Station and handing it to him?" She asked me.
"Sure Mom" I replied before going to the Table, grabbing my Dad's lunch and walking out of the House. As I was making my way over to the Police Station, I felt a pair of arms that wrapped around me.
"Oh, it's so good to see you again, Naruto-Kun" Ino said as she once again snuggled into my back.
"Ino, I'm making my way over to my Dad's workplace, I can't really put up with any distractions right now."
"Then I'll go with you, Senpai."
I just let out a sigh and proceeded to walk.
As I was walking, I heard Ino say
"So, who was she?"
I turned my head to look Ino in the eyes before asking her.
"Who"?
"The Girl that you were talking to when we separated for the Day, Senpai" she spelled out.
"Oh, she's just a girl that I occasionally run into every now and then, her name is Ami" I said as calmly as possible, hoping that she wouldn't get angry if I didn't act suspicious.
"Well I already took care of her for you Naruto-Senpai" she said with a smile.
"W-what!?"
(Flashback)
Ami was at her locker, minding her own business, grabbing and then putting on her backpack, as the School Day was over.
She had no way of knowing that someone was creepily watching her from afar.
'That Bitch thinks she can take away my Naruto-Senpai, from me, mine!' Ino inwardly yelled while stalking her prey.
She waited for Ami to close her locker before getting closer and closer to the girl. It was the end of the Day, but Ami stayed behind to try and catch Naruto.
Ino followed her out of the School and after just a bit of following, she saw the girl stop at an intersection waiting for the light to turn.
Ino looked around first, making sure nobody was nearby, and then pushed her into the street.
"Oops" she whispered as Ami fell into traffic..
Ami let out a loud gasp, before proceeding to get run over by a truck.
'That'll teach you to mess with my Senpai' she inwardly declared before walking away from the scene.
(End of Flashback)
"She was gonna try to steal you from me Naruto-Kun, of course I had to stop her from trying, even though I know you would never leave me for a hoe like her."
"But, you promised me that you wouldn't kill anyone as long as I went out with you!" I loudly whispered to her, not wanting to attract any attention.
"Correction" she started. "I said that I wouldn't kill any of your tutors, Senpai. And she isn't one of your tutors, now is she?"
I started sweating and she noticed this. Once she noticed this, she gave me a kiss on the cheek, and told me.
"I'm not gonna let anyone get in between our love Senpai, nobody!"
'What love' I thought as she looked at me with adoring eyes.
"I mean killing three people in one day and hiding the evidence is really annoying, but I'd do it over and over again for you Naruto-Kun" she assured me.
"Who were the other two?" I asked.
(Flashback)
Ino was just laying on the roof of the school deciding to rest for a bit.
As she was resting, she heard something that made her angry.
"She's the one that's with Naruto" a Girl said.
"The Loser?" Another Girl asked.
"Yeah, the Loser" the other Girl reassured.
Ino grit her teeth in anger at the fact that these bitches were calling her boyfriend a Loser. So she waited for a little longer and pretended like she was still asleep, when in actuality, she had her eyes open just a bit waiting for them to move.
After a while, she saw them move to the rail and stare off at the Sun. This was when she made her move and walked up behind both of them and pushed both as hard as she could off the railing, luckily they fell out of their shoes. After she heard the sound of them hitting the ground she placed both pairs of shoes on the ground, whipped out a piece of paper and wrote a fake suicide letter for them making it seem like a Lovers Suicide and placed it by the shoes.
After doing this, she turned around, and walked away from the crime scene.
(End of Flashback)
"Two girls that called you a Loser, they deserved to die, Naruto-Kun! How dare they call my boyfriend a Loser!?" Ino explained.
"While it is flattering that you defended me, you still shouldn't have killed them over that, I'm used to it Ino" Naruto assured her.
Ino immediately began to fill with anger as she looked at the ground and asked."Who was it?"
"Huh?" Naruto asked.
"Who called you a Loser, Naruto-Kun? I'll kill them, all of them!" She answered while yelling out the last part.
"Ino please, not so loud, and just forget I ever said that" I told her.
"But I can't, if someone is making or ever did make you feel miserable, then I wanna make their lives miserable for you Senpai!" Ino declared.
Naruto was taken aback by this and started blushing in suprise, he's aware of who he was talking to, but regardless, it was nice to hear that she cared that much about him and his well being. He shook this off though and then said
"We're almost at the Police Station, so please, cool down Ino."
Ino decided to listen to her boyfriend, as she didn't wanna embarrass him where his Father works.
(Inside the Police Station)
Upon arriving inside the Station, both Naruto and Ino went to the receptionist where Naruto was met by Bee, a very familiar Face.
"Hey, Bee" he said with as much enthusiasm as he could, Bee has been a long time family friend for as long as Naruto could remember, he was basically his honorary uncle at this point despite Bee's older brother and his dad never quite seeing eye to eye on anything really.
"YO yo yo Naruto '' Bee replied smoothly .''What you doing up here little fox", he replied using an old nickname from my childhood that never truly went away no matter how old I got.
Ino's eyes looked like she just heard the meaning to life and asked in the most inquisitive voice I've ever heard come out of a person in my life
"Little Fox?" She asked, drool practically on her lips before I could push her along out the way.
Bee spoke up again "You must be the lovely young lady boss man told us his son was seeing, Ino right?"
"Yep that's me, and what's this about Little Fox".
Bee then giggled a bit before explaining.
"Naruto here used to run around in this fox pajama onesie his grandparents got him as a kid. I swear he practically lived in that thing, hardly ever took it off, and it didn't help that he was a pretty mischievous kid and liked to pull pranks. I thought they were great but my big bro not so much. Next time you go to his place ask his momma, she's got tons of pics of it".
My fate is sealed. I slowly turned my head to look at Ino and it was like staring into the face of certain doom.
'Are her eyes twinkling, is that even possible?' I asked myself in thought but then Ino popped up again.
"Oh I most certainly will, I can't wait to see them, all of them" she said this while staring deep into my soul, it felt like the devil itself grabbed me before I fell into her evil spell.
I spoke up.
"I was just coming here to drop off some food for my dad" Naruto told him before waking off to his Father's Office.
Before they could get fully out of the room Bee spoke up again, this time to Ino.
"Say Ino, are you in any way related to Inochi, the psychologist that work at the hospital? We work with him on cases sometimes."
As he said this Ino far darkened in a way I'd never seen before this wasn't her normal murderous dark this was different cold and stoic and honestly a little sad.
I was going to ask her what up when she spoke in a quiet voice barley audible.
"Yea he's my dad. I'll tell him you said hello'' and with that she continued out the room and into my dad's office, I walked behind her deciding to bring it up later.
As Ino and Naruto were making their way to the Office of Minato, Ino spoke to Naruto "He seems nice, but what was that about his older brother not being a fan of you Naruto-Kun?"
"It's not really me he doesn't like, it's just he doesn't like anything having to do with my dad. To be honest, me and Ay are cool, he's like an angry strict uncle, I just look too much like my dad for his comfort" I replied.
"What happened?"
Instead of just answering her question, Naruto pulled out his Phone, and looked for a video. After finding it, he said "I knew what the outcome was gonna be, that's why I recorded it" then he pressed play.
(Video)
There he was, Minato Namikaze, standing on a field of grass, waiting for someone. After just a few more seconds passed, someone came, a dark skinned and very buff man.
After both looked each other in the eyes, some Old Man said "Minato Vs Ay,Begin!!"
And they fought, or whatever you would call this.
The buff man who was just said to be, Ay, went to Punch Minato but Minato just toyed with the guy. He then went for some Kicks at the Namikaze, but still, couldn't even come close to landing any.
Minato just dodged every single one of the guy's hits like they were nothing and even out of pity, let him land some hits, which had absolutely Zero effect on Minato.
It went on like this for about Half an Hour.
Minato would just dodge whatever Punches and Kicks went his way before just letting his opponent hit him out of pity, before finally, Minato knocked Ay out with a Punch to the head.
"That's it, the Winner is Minato Namikaze!" The Old Man said.
(End of Video)
"My dad ,and his brother, Ay were both in contention for becoming the new Chief of Police when the Old One retired. So he had them fight and the winner got to be the Chief, and as you can see, my dad won without any difficulty." Naruto explained. "It's kinda funny really, he wasn't even trying and yet Ay still couldn't so much as touch him when he moved or scratch him when my Dad let him land a hit."
Ino and Naruto then started bursting out in laughter before a minute passed and both wiped their eyes of the Tears that began to form.
"Anyways, let's go give this to my Dad" Naruto stated before Ino nodded in agreement.
In just a few more Minutes, they arrived at the Door leading to the Office of Minato.
"Fifteen Stories is alot when you have to walk all the way up, isn't it Ino?" Naruto asked.
"I'll say" she replied before Naruto knocked on the Door.
"Come in!" Minato shouted.
And so both Naruto and Ino entered the Room after opening the Door.
"Oh son, what brings you here?" He asked me.
"Oh, you forgot this" I replied while raising his Lunch Box in the air.
"Oh right, how careless of me" he responded as he shook his head.
He took the Lunch Box, looked to his Right, saw Ino, and said
"I see you brought your Girlfriend with you to see what you'll be doing years from now."
"Yeah, I guess so" I responded with a smile. "Well see ya Dad."
"See you later, son" he replied before getting back to his work.
(Outside the Police Station)
Naruto and Ino were once again, out the Station, and that's when Ino asked Naruto
"So that's what you're gonna be doing Years from now, you're gonna be a Cop?"
"Yep, I've helped them out before, and also, Ino."
"Yeah, Senpai?"
"Is that another Pretty Girl over there?" I asked while pointing at some direction,
"What?!" She angrily yelled before turning to where I pointed.
After seeing that nobody was there, she turned back, but then saw that Naruto was gone.
"He's still afraid of me and doesn't love me yet huh?" She asked herself before smirking evilly. "But that's gonna change very soon."
And without another word, she walked off, heading to her own home.
"After all, Tomorrow is the start of our Tutoring Naruto-Kun. So we'll have some proper Boyfriend Girlfriend bonding time."
